Open cassette sampling. A flow rate not exceeding 2.5 L/min is recommended
for determining an average concentration. Supply at least 2 blanks per series of
samples or 10% of sample total, whichever is highest. Send the samples in a
cardboard box supplied by the IRSST (#3010). In relatively uncontaminated
atmospheres, where the fibre concentration is much lower than 0.1 fibres/mL, use
larger sampling volumes (3000 to 10000L) in order to obtain quantifiable
densities.
The method applies to the counting of all fibres whose refractive index is
compatible with the mounting solution.
The minimum reported value is 25 fibres/mm².
Characterization of the fibres in bulk samples or in deposited dusts is done
using method 244-2. An analysis using a transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
method may be required for some materials containing fine asbestos fibres, for
example floor tiles.
